Dear all,
I've noticed by trying to download gz files from here :
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSM907811
At the bottom one can download GSM907811.CEL.gz . If I download this
manually and try
oligo::read.celfiles("GSM907811.CEL.gz")
everything works fine. (oligo is a bioConductor package)
However, if I download using
download.file("
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/download/?acc=GSM907811&format=file&file=GSM907811%2ECEL%2Egz
",
destfile = "GSM907811.CEL.gz")
The file is downloaded, but oligo::read.celfiles() returns the following
error:
Error in checkChipTypes(filenames, verbose, "affymetrix", TRUE) :
End of gz file reached unexpectedly. Perhaps this file is truncated.
Moreover, if I try to delete it after using download.file(), I get a
warning that permission is denied. I can only remove it using Windows file
explorer after I closed the R session, indicating that the connection is
still open. Yet, showConnections() doesn't show any open connections either.
Session info below. Note that I started from a completely fresh R session.
oligo is needed due to the specific file format of these gz files. They're
not standard tarred files.
Cheers
Joris
